The U.S. aimed to curb China\u2019s technological growth by restricting access to critical technologies, hoping to tip the scales. However, global innovation is driven by a network of interconnected players \u2014 and the U.S. isn\u2019t in control of them all. With allies showing reluctance or pushback, can Washington prevail in this tech rivalry alone, or is it risking greater losses than gains? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read more about this in the\u00a0article<\/a> by Ihor Petrenko<\/strong>, founder of the \u201cUnited Ukraine\u201d Think Tank, Doctor of Political Sciences for\u00a0The Gaze.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, Petrenko argues that in today\u2019s world, technological dominance translates into power over the economy, defense, cyberspace, and even public perception. A nation that leads in AI, microelectronics, and biotech shapes global norms \u2014 from market dynamics to international security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why the U.S. is working to restrict China\u2019s access to cutting-edge semiconductors and crucial innovations. But this goes beyond mere rivalry \u2014 it\u2019s a battle over who will shape the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, political scientist explains that in October 2022, the U.S. government ushered in a new chapter in the global tech rivalry with a decisive move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wasn\u2019t just another policy declaration or symbolic gesture. Washington imposed sweeping export controls on advanced chips and the equipment used to manufacture them \u2014 a strategic attempt to stall China\u2019s technological progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal was unmistakable: to block Beijing\u2019s access to cutting-edge processors essential for advancing AI, autonomous weapons, cyber capabilities, and large-scale surveillance systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this built on policies introduced under the first Trump administration, the Biden team acted with greater reach, coordination, and ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet U.S. policymakers knew that domestic measures alone wouldn\u2019t be enough. The semiconductor industry is deeply international, with key technologies and components produced in countries like the Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan \u2014 far beyond U.S. borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petrenko emphasizes that the U.S. began to encounter obstacles that raised doubts about the effectiveness of its strategy. Take ASML in the Netherlands, for instance \u2014 the sole global producer of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, essential for manufacturing the most advanced chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Dutch government doesn\u2019t fully align with U.S. restrictions, China retains a critical backdoor. A similar situation exists in Japan, where companies like Tokyo Electron continue dealings with Chinese firms unless there\u2019s coordinated and binding regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea presents a particularly sensitive challenge. With Samsung operating major facilities in China, and Seoul often torn between its security ties to Washington and its economic interests, the country\u2019s stance remains uncertain. This fragmentation weakens the sanctions regime \u2014 it may look solid on paper, but in practice, it leaks like a sieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the expert analyzes that If the United States fails to maintain coordinated tech policies with its allies, future flashpoints may extend beyond Taiwan or the South China Sea \u2014 potentially emerging through proxy conflicts. In this context, Ukraine serves not as an outlier but as a cautionary example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choice between acting unilaterally or pursuing diplomacy goes beyond the U.S.-China rivalry. It\u2019s fundamentally about global confidence in American leadership \u2014 from Asia to Europe. And in Europe, the stakes are high: Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine persists, and U.S. allies are watching closely to see whether Washington remains a dependable strategic partner. If the U.S. pressures its Asian allies while simultaneously showing signs of fatigue in supporting Ukraine, it risks projecting a troubling image of inconsistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s interconnected tech landscape, even nations not typically linked to chip production play pivotal roles. Ukraine, for instance, is a major supplier of neon gas, essential for laser-based chip engraving. Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion exposed just how fragile parts of the global supply chain can be. This further underscores the need for broad-based international cooperation \u2014 not isolationist techno-nationalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
